Life is But A Dream (Especially If You're Counting Rowing Sheep) posted on November 7, 2006 02:27 PM by rethwyll.
We love toys just as much as the next hipster. One look at our workspace would make one believe that, contrary to all modern attitudes about child-labor, our boss somehow managed to persuade a 6-year-old to come design and develop websites for 40 hours a week. (We, however, have to provide our own morning snack and have been denied our afternoon nap.)
Unlike most toy aficionados of today, we eschew the cold, impersonal vibe of your Dunnys and Munnys and Kerflunnys in favor of toys that make you long to reach out and hug them and squeeze them and call them George. With this in mind, we welcome the latest addition to our menagerie: this adorable Ewe Boat (*rimshot*) animated paper model. Although there is some assembly required, all the materials in the kit are pre-cut and scored, so no need to risk life and limb with those dangerous safety scissors. A little Elmer's glue, a little love, a little crank-action (not like that, you perv) and voilá! A rowing sheep! We probably won't be hugging it and squeezing it, because that would no doubt damage it beyond repair (to say nothing of the truly savage papercuts.) But we do plan to call it George.
Buy it! Ewe Boat animated paper model, $8.95, at paperanimations.com. (Check out the purchase page to see George in action!)
